How to pass an array of values from Script Include to Catalog Client Script?

[User205031]

Hi All,

We have a requirement. If a user selects an Application from 'app_service' then tags related to that application will populate in a different field. So, if an application has 3 tags, how to populate those 3 tags? If an application has 1 tag, it is populating fine but problem is with more than 1 tag. 

Catalog Client Script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}

//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

var a = g_form.getValue('app_service');
alert(a);

var ga = new GlideAjax("TagPop");
ga.addParam("sysparm_name", "getTagName");
ga.addParam("sysparm_groupid", a);
ga.getXML(setTagName);

function setTagName(response) {
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
g_form.clearValue('subscription_name');
g_form.clearOptions('subscription_name');

alert(answer);

g_form.setValue('subscription_name', answer);
}
}

Script Include:

var TagPop = Class.create();
TagPop.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

getTagName: function() {
var efg = '';
var nam = this.getParameter('sysparm_groupid');
//gs.log('h1' + nam);
//var t = nam.getDisplayValue();
//gs.log('h2' + t);
var abc = new GlideRecord('label_entry');
abc.addQuery('title', 'CONTAINS', nam);
//var vendors = [];
abc.query();
if (abc.next()) {
efg = abc.label.getDisplayValue();
//vendors.push(efg.getUniqueValue());
}
return efg;
//return 'sys_idIN'+vendors.toString();
},

type: 'TagPop'

});

Please help!

Hi,

Thanks for confirming that my script worked.

to show them in new line just do this

var TagPop = Class.create();
TagPop.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

    getTagName: function() {
        var vendors = [];
        var nam = this.getParameter('sysparm_groupid');
        var abc = new GlideRecord('label_entry');
        abc.addQuery('title', 'CONTAINS', nam);
        abc.query();
        while(abc.next()) {
            vendors.push(abc.label.getDisplayValue());
        }
        return vendors.join('\n');
    },

    type: 'TagPop'

});

Did you mistakenly marked other response as correct?

I believe I answered your question and mentioned to use string or multi-line text variable.

There can be only 1 response marked as correct.

Kindly mark the answer correct based on response given quickly and accurately.

Try:

var TagPop = Class.create();
TagPop.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

getTagName: function() {
var efg = [];
var nam = this.getParameter('sysparm_groupid');

var abc = new GlideRecord('label_entry');
abc.addQuery('title', 'CONTAINS', nam);

abc.query();
if (abc.next()) {
efg = push(abc.label.getDisplayValue());
}
return JSON.stringify(efg)

;
},

type: 'TagPop'

});

Then on Client side you can use:

...

var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

answer = answer.split(',');

EXAMPLE:

var t =  ['a','b'];

t = JSON.stringify(t);

gs.print(t.split(','));

// OUTPUT:

*** Script: ["a","b"]

Hi Patryk,

I tried this but its not working. Showing error of Javacript error in browser console.

Thanks!

[Patryk5]

var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

answer = answer.split(',');

there was space before dot.

try now
